with our guest jeffsell, and this is about his book called mercury rising, which is the story of john glenn john kennedy and the space race in the context of the cold war. jeff comes to us from the west wing riders group, which he founded as a speech writing business along with a strategic operation and this comes from his experience as a speechwriter for president clinton, and he did a number of landmark speeches for the 42nd president. he also has a background in history from brown university and was a rhodes scholar and so has a master's degree in history from oxford. his previous books are on fascinating. x in and of themselves one on franklin roosevelt and his tussle with the us supreme court. the other is speaking of tussles on the conflict between robert kennedy and lyndon johnson, and so we were just talking before we went on camera. jeff is just so good at developing dramatic tension and i would say about this book, which i thoroughly enjoyed and i think i may have mentioned to him. i certainly did others that when i'm getting ready to moderate a book discussion. i assign myself so

john glenn's historic orbital flights around earth. our first trip to the moon. fact we are going back there now. a few years players -- prior to that, the notion of putting somebody in space was impossible. lending people on the moon, and having them conduct work on this object that has been the object of war and mystery and asked her number: tris. the fact we would put people there to explore is impossible. and yet, part of what nasa does is to make the impossible possible. we continue to do that with the artemis program, and as we look forward to going to mars. i want to talk to you about making the impossible possible in your journeys. i want to share my journey as an illustration. the truth of it is, i should not be standing in front of you today talking about my experience as national. if the laws of logic and reason we do that on a regular basis. we continue to do that with the artemis program as we look forward to going to mars. i wanted to talk about making the impossible possible indoor journeys. i want to share my journey with you as an illustration. t

hope this will become a movie if you could use anyone to play john glenn, who would it be? oh gosh. that's a great question. i should have a better answer. i will tell you that. i i adored at harris's portrayal of glenn in the right stuff film. yeah, which was 40 years ago now so i don't suppose he'd be willing to reprise the role even though i felt as i said before that that portrayal was missing something because the book was missing something about glenn. i do feel that ed harris just really captured the the kind of electricity of john glennon those years who could play him today. a boy i should have a good quick answer to that and i don't but i will give it some thought. i'll put it on twitter tell me and we'll we'll post it. all right, sounds good so so much for this amazing hour. we could go on for many more hours about this history and what came after mercury but alas we must draw to a close. so again, i just recommend to everyone i get this book you will love it. and i know it will be a page turner for you as well and we hope to see all of you back here for our next forum fo
